The wine region of Beamsville Bench
VQA sub-appellation on the dramatic bench of the Niagara Escarpment (Ontario): Chardonnay and Riesling are the signatures — chiselled Riesling with wet stone, grapefruit, lemon, lime and vibrant acidity balanced by ripe peach and floral notes. Opulent, creamy Chardonnay with green apple, citrus, butter and vanilla. Dolomitic limestone soils bringing signature bracing minerality. Fresh medium-bodied wines with balanced acidic structure.
The wine region of Ontario
World reference for Canadian Icewine: exceptional sweet wines from grapes frozen on the vine, golden colour, signature notes of candied apricot, mango, honey, citrus and exotic fruits, opulent sugar balanced by taut acidity (Vidal for fruit, Riesling for finesse). Cool-climate still wines: mineral, lively Riesling, precise Chardonnay, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), peppery Cabernet Franc. ~5,500 ha on the Niagara Peninsula between Lake Ontario and the escarpment, VQA.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
